"According to the report by the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Burma/Myanmar, serious human rights concerns remain, including the detention of many prisoners of conscience in appalling conditions and the persecution of ethnic minorities. So far, no progress has been made in efforts to achieve legal reforms, nor has there been progress in ensuring the independence of the judiciary. Despite the fact that the government has started ceasefire negotiations with rebel groups, there continue to be severe human rights abuses, and a number of people are being violently displaced. Many sectors of economic activity in Burma/Myanmar, such as timber, oil and gas, have been directly linked to serious human rights abuses and environmental destruction, and have also been the main source of the military and government revenues. In addition, the government of Burma/Myanmar blocks access of humanitarian aid to the country. For prospective and cooperative relations with the European Union, I think it is important for Burma/Myanmar to take the necessary steps leading to the democratisation of the country. I believe it is essential to release the remaining political prisoners and to allow local and international humanitarian organisations unhindered access to conflict areas."@en1
